This English soccer game is simple but effective and one that the kids really enjoy playing. 'King of the Ring' is a game to find out who will be the last person in the area and be called the 'King of the Ring' champion.
Each player has a soccer ball and the idea of the game is to dribble around the area keeping the soccer ball under close control. Should the soccer ball leave the marked out area at any point, that player is out and is not allowed to come back into the area.
Each player must also try and kick the other players soccer ball's out of the area whilst keeping close control of their own. Not easy! Make sure the players don't leave their ball in the corner and run around crazily kicking other balls out.
It is important to coach this game correctly. Demonstrate how the player should 'shield' the ball by turning their backs to the oncoming player so they cannot kick the ball.
The two main ways of losing the ball therefore is by a player kicking a player's ball out or by the player losing control of the ball and it going out of the area.
